In creating new work for 3AMPs exhibition and beyond I have been using various lighting and photographic techniques.
Today I decided to return to my first love – painting with light.
This orchid was a gift from an elderly gentleman some years back and was in flower at the time. Every year since it has survived in its pot but never flowered until now: now we are living in a new home and I like to think it is a sign we are where we are meant to be.
This morning Bill and I travelled by bus into Bendigo in order to be a little touristy in our own town.
We were dropped off across the road from the Courthouse which meant our planned visit to some gardens was made very easy.
We wandered through the gorgeous gardens we have in town including the tulip_surrounded_Conservatory gardens, the Fernery and the Chinese Gardens.
(What an inspiration for the 3AMPs forthcoming exhibition GOLDEN LANDSCAPE.)
A walk through Rosalind Park and up towards the back of the art gallery led us to the Capital where there is a great exhibition on at the moment. https://sharongreenaway.com/2015/10/03/artistic-response-to-ulumburra-theatre-opening/
Coffee and cake were in order after this while we waited for our bus home and Bath Lane was our choice. We went to the Green Olive where the coffee and mocha were great as was my carrot cake however the choice of only one Gluten Free cake was disappointing particularly when it was very bland.
We had a pleasant time doing something we seldom do – being a tourist in our home town.
BTW who knew of this plaque? And where is it?
Earlier this year during the course of the opening of this fabulous new theatre in Bendigo, artists were invited to attend one of the open days.They were invited to produce work in response to the opening.
The resultant pieces, which range from photo journalistic images to three dimensional sculptures, are now on show at the Capital Theatre Foyer gallery space and is well worth checking out.
I popped along this morning and was delighted with both the work on display as well as the fact that I knew many of the artists who had work on display.
